The 2023 Dice Hate Me Holiday Gift Guide
December 7th, 2023
Seasons Greetings, Dear Readers! It’s time for that annual tradition – the DHM Holiday Gift Guide! This will mark the 13th year I’ve put this together. Inconceivable.
It’s a tad late this year, but there’s still plenty of shopping days to grab some gaming glee for your loved ones. Or, use them to make a Grinch’s heart grow three sizes in just one day. Regardless, have fun around the table with whomever you wish to bring cheer. Happy Holidays and Happy Gaming!

The State of Games, Ep. 188 – The One About Milk
April 25th, 2023
It’s been a long, long time, but a new Dice Hate Me Games title is up on Kickstarter! And this one has been a long time coming. Milkman has been in development for over seven years! I thought it would be nice to sit down with designer Josh Mills and just chat about the journey. This one is a short one, but that means Josh and I just get to the point. Hope you enjoy, and consider backing Milkman!
The State of Games, Ep. 187: The One About Unpub 2023
March 31st, 2023For the first time since 2019, we three were actually at a convention together! It felt like old times. We traveled to Hunt Valley, MD to attend the Unpublished Games Festival and had a blast playtesting ours and others’ prototypes. We saw old friends, played a really massive game of Just One, and got pelted in the privates during a very special game designed by Matt Riddle and Ben Pinchback. Get ready to enjoy the convention coverage, just like back in the day!

The State of Games, Ep. 185: The One About Crossing the Line
December 14th, 2022In the past, there have been times on the podcast when we’ve damned the torpedoes and full-speed aheaded into slightly controversial waters. Luckily for all of you, Dear Listeners, we’re going to do it again on this podcast. There have been a few things poking at TC’s brain over the past few months and, since it’s Festivus season, it’s time for the Airing of Grievances. So sit back, listen, and decide if the things we’re talking about have crossed a line – or if we have!
The 2022 Dice Hate Me Holiday Gift Guide
December 8th, 2022
A festive hello, Dear Readers! It’s time for that great annual tradition where I curate some excellent games to gift those special someones in your life. It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 12 years since I put together the first Holiday Gift Guide and many of you have been here for all 12 years. That’s amazing.
I’m so thankful for those of you who have returned to revel in some holiday cheer – and thankful for those of you who are new to the tradition! Get cozy, put on some Vince Guaraldi, and enjoy. Happy Holidays and Happy Gaming!
The State of Games, Ep. 184: The One About Catching Up
October 7th, 2022It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten together, Dear Listeners, and there’s quite a lot that’s happened. We didn’t intend to wait this long for a recording, but life sometimes gets in the way. But, we’re back, and with lots of cool news, reviews, and more than a few personal stories to share. So kick back, relax, and enjoy – you’re with friends.
The State of Games, Ep. 183: The One About Works in Progress
June 28th, 2022Working in the board game industry isn’t always fun and, well, games. It takes a lot of perseverance, patience, and, most importantly, the ability and willingness to adapt. Everyone on this podcast has had to adapt at least once, whether it was in changing a game design, creating some new art, or just letting go of a project that’s simply not working or selling. We’re kind of all over the place on this one, but everything we talk about has to do with that central theme of change and moving forward positively.
The State of Games, Ep. 182: The One About Getting the Brand Back Together
May 16th, 2022Sometimes you just need a do-over. Dice Hate Me and Greater Than Games have been together since 2015, but that’s changing now. Dice Hate Me is independent once again, and it’s both scary and exciting. We talk honestly about what all of that entails – well, I talk honestly while TC grills me like Mike Wallace. But it’s all good – and good listening for all of you, Dear Listeners. Enjoy, and thanks for coming along for the ride for as long as you have. And if you’re new, welcome! Hope you like your podcasts with a touch of whimsy and randomness.
The State of Games, Ep. 181: The One About the Great Escape
March 29th, 2022Sometimes you just need a good escape, whether its to a condo on the beach, to a secret island controlled by a mysterious doctor, to the depths of the sea, or just to the kitchen table with a good board game. We’re not taking a deep dive into the sea, but we are going to take a deep dive into escape rooms and board games that adapt that experience. And, as we are wont to do, we are going to ramble quite a bit while we do it. Honestly, you’d be disappointed if we didn’t.
